Philanthropy

Philanthropy can be a powerful way to support the causes, communities and issues that matter most to you. Giving creates social and environmental change, while also bringing a deep sense of purpose, connection and fulfilment to individuals and families.

At Coutts, philanthropy has long been part of our heritage, embodied by the work of Angela Burdett-Coutts. Today, we continue Angela’s work through our own charity, the Coutts Foundation, and support clients at all stages of their journey as they explore how to make their giving both effective and enjoyable. Criteria apply.

I'm new to giving

Whether you’ve been considering giving for some time, are responding to a life event, or simply seeing what‘s possible, together we can explore your goals and options. Criteria apply.

When starting out on your philanthropy journey, there are six areas we encourage our clients to reflect on:

  • Why give?
  • Understanding the charity landscape
  • Where should your giving start?
  • Finding the right structure for your giving?
  • Putting it into practice
  • There’s no single ‘right way’ to give

I want to take my giving further

If you’ve already donated and embarked on your philanthropy journey, it’s natural for questions and opportunities to arise over time. Whether you’re thinking about developing a more strategic approach, reviewing the impact of your giving, involving your family or planning for the future, we can share expertise and insights. Criteria apply.
